Abstract excerpt
A mutant of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum with a lesion in membrane Na+-translocating ATPase (synthase) was isolated. The total ATPase activity in permeabilized cells of this mutant was elevated three-fold as compared with the wild-type strain. In contrast to wild-type cells, mutant ATPase was neither inhibited by DCCD nor stimulated by Na+ ions. The methane formation orate of the mutant cells at pH 7.5...
